From the Independent in Holmdel New Jersey:
Produced by the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation, the festival has grown into one of the largest free music and food festivals on the East Coast.
The headliner for the opener, Friday, June 1, at 8:30 p.m., is local favorite Billy Hector.
Last September, Billy and his band shared billing with Bonnie Raitt at The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's "Tribute to Muddy Waters." Billy recently took home three Asbury Music awards for Best Guitarist, Best Blues Band and the Living Legend Award.
The headliner on Saturday, June 2, is Big Bill Morganfield, the son of legendary Blues guitarist Muddy Waters, who will perform at 8:30 p.m. His latest release, "Blues in the Blood," proves his musical pedigree is more than just words.
Joey DeFrancesco will close the festival Sunday, June 3, at 2:50 p.m. Known as the "Master of the Hammond B3 Organ," he is always a top choice in Downbeat's critics' and readers' polls.
This is the 21st year of this festival, and they are expecting over 150,000 people to attend this three day event.
